The fitted States Supreme Court Re-
tusos 10 Grant Writ of Error and the
Condemned Men VIII Hang Unless
the Governor Interferes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The decision OF the
United States Supreme Court upon the pett-
ton for writ of error in the case OF the
Chicago Anarchists was announced this al
ternoon by Chief Justice Waito in long and
carefu!y-prepared opinion, which occupied
thirty-four minutes in the reading. The
court holds, in brief:
i. That the first ten amendments to the
Constitution are limitations upon Federaland
not upon State action.
2. That the jury law of Illinois is upon Its
face valid and constitutional, and that it 10
similar in it's provisions to the statute OF
Utsh, which was sustained in this court in
the case Of Eoyt vs.. The Territory of Utah.
8. That it does not appear in the record
that upon the eviLerce the trial court should
have declared the Juror Sanford lncompe-
tent.
4. That the objection to the admission OF
the Johann Most letter and the cross-Gxam-
ination of Spies, which counsel for the PMS
orers maintained virtually compelled them
to testify against themselves, We're not OBJ
jected to in the trial court and that, therefore,
no foundation was laid for the exercise by
this court of the jurisdiction: and
s. That The questions raised by Gen. But
Ter in the cases Of Spies and Fieiden upon the
basis of foreign nationality were neither
raised nor decided III the State courts, and,
therefore cannot be considered here. The
writ Of error prayed for must consequently
be denied.
There was no dissenting opinion.

but these are the exceptions In most cases
either all or the majority of the laborers are
on strike, but in LGfourche parish no Vio-
lence has been reported SO far. In response
TO the summons to return to work or quit the
place the strikers have as a rule adopted the
latter alternative, either hocking into town,
where many have arrived to-day, or making
active preparations for move.
Affidavita were, however, sworn out against
some twenty men who refused to adopt either
alternative. Twelve of these were arrested,
two OF whom, Emile Naouin and Odessa Ian,
dry, are white. All the prisoners were hailed.
It was reported this morning that more
serious trouble had occurred in Ierrebonne,
